What’s on in Wexford this summer?

Though today is midsummer’s day, lots of people have yet to take their annual holidays. With that in mind, here’s a round-up of special events and festivals in Wexford this summer. The list below includes not only the well-known events but some lesser known, yet equally enjoyable, ones as well.

Calendar of Events in Wexford Summer 2011

Jedward, Rubberbandits, Saw Doctors, Coronas, Cry Before Dawn, Ryan Sheridan, Original Rude Boys and more live acts play at both ticketed & free events. There is a whole range of Fringe events, events for children, a cookery demo & more.

This is one of the biggest & best agricultural shows in Ireland. It’s a great family day out, with competitions featuring specially bred animals (from cows to donkeys, from poultry to goats), show-jumping, cookery & craft, sheepdog trials, a fashion show and so much more. Our guests always love this event!

The harbour, the sea, narrow lanes, ancient ruins, church spires & River Slaney will all act as inspiration for the artists who will paint in “plein air” directly outside their chosen subject. There is an art competition with prizes of up to €4,000, there will also be a BBQ and a buffet supper.
